Week 19 (10/18/11): burnt offerings


Hello!!
 
Ok. I know I've said this before..but this week really was the BEST ever!  So much has happened.  I hate putting details on here..so  I'll leave those out.  BUT I'll still share the highlights!
 
>Our Polish guy we have set for baptism is HILARIOUS!  He came into the trail center for a tour and a lesson and we asked him how he was feeling about his baptism.  He said, "well, I'm not scared, because I can SWIM!"  Then later as I was talking to him, he said, "Whoa. You look different. I better go."  and he seriously left!   Then he called us today and said he was sorry he left...but that the light freaked him out... hahaha  I have no idea what he's talking about..because most of the time I have trouble understanding what he's saying with his thick accent.  But..he's doing great!
 
>I was walking down this driveway..looking up..for ANYONE to talk to..and the next thing I knew I was falling. hard.  Stupid acorns are EVERYWHERE!  SO embarrassing. I was hoping have have some huge battle wound..but don't worry..just a little scratch on my foot.
 
>Speaking of battle wounds..the bruises are gone.. not an SOS guys...I'm FINE.  haha I promise. 
 
>Our less active who hasn't been to church in over 40 years...has come the past two weeks and he bore his TESTIMONY!!  It was amazing!!!!  and inspirational! and soo powerful!  He is hilarious and reminds me sooo much of dad. I love him.
 
>This week at the trail center we had our Area Seventy come along with Sister Dalton (General YW President) Sister Wixom (General Primary President) and Sister Thompson (General RS 2nd Counselor)  It was AMAZING!!!  I got to meet and talk with all of them.  and I cried when they left.  They all have such a strong spirit.  It was am incredible experience.
 
>Remember that gross spider paper by our front door???  While..we found a mouse on it. Don't worry..I have pictures of that too... :)  Actually I think its s vole?  Or something..It looks like mouse but has a mole face?  I don't know.. its weird. 
 
>We tracted into this MEAN black lady.  When we knocked..she said who is it???  and we said.. THE MISSIONARIES!  and he was like aagghhg #$%^&*^*  YOU MORMONS!!!   $#%^%$&&(   hahaha.  It was hilarious/terrifying.  It made my day.
 
>My adorable comp...Sister Unice...burnt chicken in the microwave.  It was BLACK. and HOLLOW. and we smelt for days.... 
 
>And the best thing ever...WE GET TO CHAT!!!  We have a 6 hour shift every week where we chat with people on mormon.org.  It is sooo amazing!  I love it.  It takes me back to the days of msn...  We answer ALL sorts of questions, talk to creeps, and teach lessons! 
 
  Ok well this is long enough.. I love you all and wish you the BEST!!
